Purchase Order Close Job Scheduled for Hard Close Weekend

The PO Reconciliation (PO Close) job is scheduled to run on the hard close weekend of August 12th.

The PO Close job closes purchase orders that have been fully matched by setting the PO status to “Complete”. See the SWIFT Procurement Year End Processing Tips document for additional information about the PO Close job, along with other procurement year end document processing options and tips.

Remember, you can prevent the PO Close job from closing a fully matched order by clicking the “Hold From Further Processing” checkbox on the PO header page should you plan on increasing the order at a later date.
